Nichola was appointed Queen's Counsel in March 2021. She specialises exclusively in financial remedy cases, particularly those involving complex trust and corporate structures. In addition, she is a recognised specialist in property disputes between unmarried cohabitees (particularly where there is also a Children Act 1989, Schedule 1 element to be considered) and previously authored the chapter in Rayden & Jackson relating to such disputes between cohabitees. She is also regularly instructed to advise on and to draft pre-nuptial agreements and has a wealth of experience in both defending and challenging such agreements in Court, having represented the Wife in the frequently cited case of KA v MA (Prenuptial Agreement: Needs) [2018] EWHC 499 (Fam) where she successfully challenged the terms of the pre-nuptial agreement. She is renowned both for her attention to detail and for her robust performance in Court. Nichola is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and regularly sits as a Private FDR Judge where her ability to find innovative solutions is highly regarded.
